Hi, I got my Tenere 2 months ago after many years without a bike. Been enjoying every minute I get to ride. Sometimes life can deal you cruel blows and being back riding has been the best therapy I could possibly find. There are great rides and things to see all over again when you live on an island in the "far east of the western world". To put things in perspective, Newfoundland and Labrador combined is a little smaller than California, slightly bigger than Japan, and twice the size of the entire United Kingdom. The island of Newfoundland itself covers 111,390 square kilometres (43,008 square miles) and has a population of ~500,000. Lots of open road. The attached photo is about 1 hour and 20 from my home. Looking forward to being part of the forum.
Jerry

Welcome! I had the pleasure of riding the west side of Newfoundland & Labrador a few years ago and want to go back! I could easily spend an entire summer just exploring the island.

Welcome!

I hope to visit your side of the country sometime.

One reason your population is so low is they're all in Alberta ::025::

Welcome and congrats on owning the 3rd Tenere up in Newfoundland...at least I believe that was the count last year.

One year ago tonight my wife and I were aboard the ferry sailing our way to Argentia, our two Teneres in the bottom of the boat. We thought it was pretty cool that our arrival would double the number of Teneres on The Rock.

You have a spectacular island there, and a great bike to explore it. Welcome and enjoy the ride.

Soon we'll have enough for a good group ride.
